The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Advisory: Miscompilation in cortex-m-rt 0.7.1 and 0.7.2
You might also want to add this to https://github.com/rustsec/advisory-db so that cargo audit and Dependabot surface it.

"This type of secure-by-default functionality is why we love Go"
The behavior of not extracting outside the specified directory has been the default since forever in Rust's tar. And then it had two RUSTSEC advisories for not handling this correctly in certain corner cases. The latest one in 2021.

`cargo audit` can now scan compiled binaries
However, I keep getting this error when running cargo audit bin ~/.cargo/bin/*, even if I replace * with a specific binary: Fetching advisory database from `https://github.com/RustSec/advisory-db.git` Loaded 467 security advisories (from C:\Users\jonah\.cargo\advisory-db) Updating crates.io index error: I/O operation failed: The system cannot find the path specified.

MIA Github Assignee on very minor PR
I usually open an issue asking if the crate is still maintained. If there isn't a response for a decent amount of time (like multiple months) and the crate is somewhat popular then it could be worth opening an unmaintained advisory in the advisory-db

Github Dependency graph adds vulnerability alerting support for Rust
FWIW the RustSec database is still not synced into the Github databse on a regular basis, even though they did an initial import of it. So the cargo audit github action is still relevant.

Alternative to Index trait that can return both owned and borrowed values?
I was looking at https://github.com/mitsuhiko/similar/issues/33, and I was wondering if there was a way to do so either currently or in the future with an RFC?
